Chicago, IL and São Paulo, Brazil – March 15, 2012

Accertify, a leading fraud prevention and risk management provider, today announced it has signed an agreement with online travel agency eDestinos.com.br to implement its fraud prevention solutions for eDestinos.com.br enterprise-wide. Recently launched as eSKY.pl’s entrant in Brazil’s online travel market, eDestinos.com.br offers individuals and companies the full scope of tools needed for any trip, such as airline tickets, hotels, holiday packages and travel insurance.

“As we look to capture new market share and secure returning business in the Brazilian online marketplace, we know how important it is to ensure the highest standards in security,” said Marius Turbatu, Country Manager for eDestinos.com.br. “Knowing that Accertify – with its deep roots in the online travel space and experience in the local market – is watching our backs, we can focus on expanding our business rather than dedicating tremendous resources to fraud prevention.”

“It’s no secret that online travel and the Latin American market are popular targets of fraudsters,” said Luis Fernando Barros, Accertify Vice President and General Manager in Brazil. “When we demonstrated that Accertify’s clients – in these segments and others – can benefit from a fraud rate far below industry averages, eDestinos.com.br seized on our customizable solutions. Not only does our platform offer an efficient and cost-effective means of preventing fraud, but we also provide multicurrency and multilanguage capabilities, which are increasingly important to a global company like eSKY.pl.”

Accertify, an American Express company, supports the risk management and fraud reduction efforts of leading companies around the world. Drawing from its genesis in the online travel industry, Accertify took a merchant’s perspective when it developed its unique solutions to prevent international e-commerce fraud and built a strong roster of online clients.
